Baked Goat Cheese Marinara

I love cheese. Always have. And with my recent move to the state of Wisconsin, America’s Dairyland, exploring new cheese was inevitable. My favorite grocery store here, Metcalfe’s, is a local establishment that has been around since 1917. As soon as you walk in, you are led to the amazing cheese, artisan crackers and cured sausage and meats section. They always have samples and you can bet there will be a fabulous cheese sample of something you have never tried before. It was here at Metcalfe’s that I tried a 10-year aged cheddar cheese and a fabulous goat milk cheddar cheese. Needless to say, both were amazingly delicious.

I’m thrilled to tell you guys about this More to Make challenge from KitchenAid. First off, I got to familiarize myself with so many different kinds of goat cheese, hard and soft. And secondly, I got to perfect my homemade marinara sauce recipe. And let me tell you, this spicy, bubbly marinara does not disappoint. . and I even have some secret ingredients in there. .

Heat the olive oil in a medium to large sized saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic, oregano and thyme sprigs and allow everything to cook in the olive oil for about 2-3 minutes.

Pour in the crushed tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and mix well. Bring to a slight boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
